Church & Community Partnerships
No other international humanitarian organization engages local faith leaders like we do. We believe that God has a plan to save our broken world, and the heart of that plan is his church — and his people — leading the way. Working with these community leaders is not only a good strategy, it's truly the most sustainable and transformative way to create change that lasts. We want to see the global church creating and leading change in their communities so the work can continue long after we depart.
Holistic Approaches
We believe in transformation of the whole person - mind, body and spirit. That's why our programs focus on addressing the root causes of vulnerability that are often unseen. Beyond physical change, we focus on driving mental, social and spiritual transformation. We know that lasting change requires more than quick fixes and band-aid solutions, and that by going deep to uncover systemic issues, we can create change that lasts.
Interconnected Solutions
We see the world's greatest challenges as not only deeply connected, but inextricably linked. We take a global, whole-picture view that addresses the greatest needs of those we serve in every context along every step of their journey, from a refugee camp in Sudan to an employment office in Memphis. We operate both "here and there," with interconnected solutions and wrap-around care that has true power to create change that lasts.
